Find something you would normally pass.
An object. A sound. A person. A place. Something ordinary enough that your attention would usually move beyond it.

Some observations do not become answers.
Some questions need somewhere to remain.
Studio Practice No. 001 · Opening I
Attention does not have to end with noticing.
This is a small practice carried forward from the First Opening. It asks for nothing to be collected, submitted, or remembered.
An object. A sound. A person. A place. Something ordinary enough that your attention would usually move beyond it.
Do not photograph it.
Do not name what it means.
Do not decide whether it is beautiful.
Stay long enough to notice something you did not notice at first.
You may look away from this screen. The minute is being held for you.
One minute has passed.
You do not need to name it here.
Make one small choice that changes what you leave behind.
Straighten something. Return something. Offer something. Tend something. Let something remain undisturbed.
The gesture does not need to be witnessed.
